Problema Solution

Sabrina goes to a bank and changes a $50 bill for $5 bills and $1 bills. There are 22 bills in all. How many of each kind are there?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent the number of $5 bills, then '22-x' represents the number of $1 bills


50 = 5x + 22-x

solving for 'x' we have

x=7


22-7=15


there are 7 $5 bills and 15 $1 bills
